Three Kingdoms

  The moist wind on the river is blowing the Sun family flag representing Jiangdong.

  The flag is still in the style of a big man, with the same size and color.

  The difference is that the people under the banner may not have the word "big man" in their hearts.

   Huang Gai looked up at the flag fluttering in the wind, and seemed to resonate with the flag in his heart.

  If Zhou Yu hadn't spoken, Huang Gaizai would never have thought that Jiangdong's situation would be in dire straits. Because in Huang Gai's eyes, Jiangdong is still Jiangdong, not much has changed.

  『There are three causes of great events in the world, and the right time, place and people are the same...』 Huang Gai repeated in his heart what Zhou Yu said at that time, and his thoughts fluctuated for a while.

  The right time, place and people were not created by Zhou Yu, let alone the patent of Brother Zhu, but Mr. Mencius and Meng. Of course, Sun Tzu also elaborated on this concept. Later generations may even be able to recite these few words to a primary school student, but for Huang Gai, this was indeed the first time he heard Zhou Yu's detailed analysis, and the content of the analysis also shocked Huang Gai.

   What Zhou Yu told Sun Quan was the destiny, but what he told Huang Gai and others was the right time, place and people.

  Of course, it is not wrong to say that these two aspects are somewhat similar, after all, the final result may be to fight for the world. It's just that one focuses on theory and the other is more specific. The right time, place and people can be regarded as an abstract concept, or as a concrete guide. Battles, campaigns, strategies, whoever can occupy the right time, place and people will win the victory.

  Zhou Yu said that if there are 10 shares of weather, then 80% are in Jiangbei, and only 20% are in Jiangdong. The geographical advantage is better, but only 40% is because the upper reaches are not in the hands of Jiangdong, and the middle reaches are in Jingzhou. As for people and...

   Zhou Yu fell silent when he mentioned Renhe. This kind of silence made Sun Quan on the side restless, and it also made Huang Gai terrified. Because it is true that Zhou Yu doesn't need to say more, Jiang Dong can beat himself out of his mind. Even Huang Gai himself actually took the opportunity to expand some of his headquarters in the previous stage.

  Huang Gai recruited troops to expand his headquarters, of course not to oppose Sun Quan, he just instinctively safeguarded his own interests.

  But when everyone is considering their own interests, there is often no common interest. Most of the time, if you want to have common interests, everyone must give up some personal interests. Note that everyone, as long as one of them has a ghost, then the so-called team or group is worth mentioning. It will eventually collapse, just like the tower of Babel in the Bible, the prisoners in the interrogation room.

  Under such circumstances, Jiang Dong doesn't have enough time...

   In other words, Zhou Yu has no time, so all that remains is to fight for time.

   Zhou Yu's time-grabbing strategy is very complicated to operate, but to put it simply, it is to find an opponent for Jiang Dong, and of course it can only be one. On the one hand, he uses the pressure of his opponents to integrate himself and transfer the internal conflicts to the outside. On the other hand, he provokes Fei Qian to fight Cao Cao. If Fei Qian and Cao Cao didn't fight each other, then Jiangdong would be finished sooner or later, and there would be no more chances.

  Huang Gai is not a strategist, nor can he be as good at both civil and military as Zhou Yu, but there is one excellent thing, that is, Huang Gai will never cheat and play tricks when dealing with what he should do, especially he also does not want Jiangdong’s foundation to collapse.

  That's why Huang Gai came, just like in history, he voluntarily feigned surrender. He knew the danger, but he still didn't refuse.

  『Captain! General Zhu's warship ahead! ’ the sentinel above Diao Dou shouted loudly.

  Huang Gai glanced at it and signaled to pull over to stop the boat.

   Not long after the boat stopped, Zhu Huan also took a small boat from his own warship, transferred to Huang Gai's boat, and greeted Huang Gai.

   Zhu Huan's etiquette was not lacking. After meeting with Huang Gai, he said: "The general's headquarters are here, and he obeys the orders of the governor. 』

  Huang Gai gave Zhu Huan a warning even without meeting him. Instead, he looked around at the surrounding mountains, rivers and rivers. After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked, "Which is the barbarian village closest to here?" how many people? Someone needs to sacrifice blood to the flag! 』

  Zhu Huan was stunned for a moment, but quickly replied, "There is a small village more than twenty miles away from here, with about a hundred households. 』

  『But Wuling Man? ’ Huang Gai asked.

  Zhu Huan nodded, then seemed to have something to say

  『If you are kind, then use this village to worship the flag. ’Huang Gai didn’t wait for Zhu Huan to finish his sentence, he patted the side of the boat directly, and shouted, ‘Order, let’s go! 』

  The war drums roared, and immediately the entire fleet set off one by one.

  Zhu Huan's fleet merged into the brigade and continued on its way. Zhu Huan stayed on the Huanggailou boat.

  Flag hunting.

   Red as blood.

"Captain..." Zhu Huan stood beside Huang Gai, as if he had been circling the question in his stomach for a long time before vomiting it out. 』

  Huang Gai snorted, "General Zhu can be blunt! 』

"..." Zhu Huan was silent for a while, "The general thought that the southern barbarians were far away from the mountains, and they didn't understand the culture, so it was possible to drive them away with profit. They could calm down by recruiting one or two, and alienating the others. ...'

  Before Zhu Huan finished speaking, Huang Gai glanced at Zhu Huan coldly, "You want to give orders to someone?" 』

   Zhu Huan bowed his head, "The last general dare not. 』

  The scene was suddenly very embarrassing.

  Huang Gai said in a deep voice, "If you have any other ideas, you can write to the Lord." However, in the army, you should know the military law, and there is no room for two. 』

  Zhu Huanlin said, "I will never know." 』

  Huang Gai nodded, still stabbing Zhu Huan firmly, "Good, in this battle, General Zhu will be the vanguard!" 』

  Zhu Huan took the order, and immediately got off the Huanggailou boat, took the boat again, and turned back to his own boat.

  Zhu Huan couldn't figure it out, but it was obvious that Huang Gai refused to communicate. The relationship between Zhu Huan himself and Huang Gai is very ordinary.

  Zhu Huan was a rising general, and Huang Gai was an old-school general at that time. How could such two people urinate into the same pot casually?

Not everyone in the world has the responsibility to explain their goals and plans to others, not to mention that Huang Gai and Zhu Huan belong to different factions, so it is impossible for Huang Gai to explain to Zhu Huan in detail, but This behavior made Zhu Huan very puzzled.

  『General... Captain Huang, what do you say? Zhu Huan's confidant, Zhu Chang squinted at the direction of Huang Gai's building, and then asked in a low voice.

  Zhu Chang is a little younger than Zhu Huan, and he can be regarded as Zhu Huan's younger brother.

  Zhu Huan watched the surrounding mountains slowly move back, "Get ready for battle. 』

"ah? ’Zhu Chang froze for a moment.

  Zhu Huan said in a deep voice: "Captain Huang wants us to attack Qinglang Village and use it to sacrifice the flag..."

  If ordinary people looked at Zhu Huan's current position, they would naturally be envious.

Zhu Huan is a general, although he is only a partial general, but don’t use bean buns as food. The partial general is also a general, and he has soldiers and horses under him. One order can kill a life, and he is young, and the future can be expected. It seems that it doesn't look too good at all, but Zhu Huan, who is in it, may not be as beautiful as outsiders think. It's not the hypocrisy of being too cold at the top, but the embarrassment brought about by his status.

Zhu Huan was a general promoted by Sun Quan after he came to power. In terms of military exploits, he is no match for a veteran, and in terms of strategy, he is also out of his turn. Now that Sun Quan is being suppressed, Zhu Huan has also been dumped here in Wuling and Nanman Shanyue sings folk songs.

Because he understands the local situation better, Zhu Huan knows the content of those Nanman Shanyue's extremely angry folk songs. These guys are also more busy with making ends meet.

  The life of the people in the Han Dynasty is not easy, and the Nanman Mountains in these mountains are even more difficult. The rural life of slash-and-burn farming is not as beautiful as poetic and picturesque, so generally speaking, unless they are really forced to the point of nowhere, these Nanman Shanyue are too lazy to rebel. Therefore, on the whole, in fact, Nanman Shanyue is like Xiqiang in the Han Lingdi period. It is a problem that only occurs when he can't survive. After all, there are only a small number of people who want to do things. Most of the Nanman Shanyue still want to eat, and those who can stutter are satisfied.

   But if it is said that if the policy is to be suppressed, if it is stained with blood, new hatred will naturally arise, then it will not be so easy to calm down...

At first, Zhu Huan thought that the bigwigs in Jiangdong should not understand it, but what he didn't expect was that whether he wrote the letter himself or asked Qin Bo to convey it, it seemed that it was of no use. Jiangdong still sent Huang Gai to suppress it. , and Huang Gai didn't want to listen to his advice and suggestions at all, and even had a taste of suppression, which made Zhu Huan somewhat uncomfortable.

  But I feel uncomfortable, so what?

  Official senior level crushes people to death.

   What's more, in the army at the moment, if Zhu Huan said more than half a word, Huang Gai would push him directly onto the deck and chop off his head!

  『Blue Wolf Village? Zhu Chang said suspiciously, "That village didn't do anything?" 』

   Zhu Huan was silent for a while, "They are Wuling barbarians. 』

  『…』Zhu Chang also fell silent.

  『Send orders, prepare for battle. "Zhu Huan sighed, and then motioned to his confidant Zhu Chang, "You help me prepare my armor... This time, we are the vanguard..."

  The waterway of more than 20 miles, the soldiers were not very tired, and they arrived soon.

   Zhu Huan commanded the warship to dock, and then began to line up under the mountain.

   Qinglang Village is not by the river, but has to go in for about three or four miles.

  Huang Gai was on top of the building boat, watching Zhu Huan and his men gather coldly.

  Huang Gai didn't like Zhu Huan, nor did he dislike him. He has no personal grievances against Zhu Huan, but expresses his disgust towards the group represented by Zhu Huan. Jiangdong is so big, and there are only so many soldiers that can be raised. Everyone knows that fists clenched together hurt people, and arrow shafts are tied together so that they are not easy to break. Pai Jianghuai Pai Sun Pai...

   To fulfill the command of the governor, for the future of Jiangdong, the military power must be unified. Even if Zhou Yu didn't emphasize this point, Huang Gai knew it well. If Sun Quan hadn't deliberately pulled Zhou Yu's hind legs, showing suspicion and intention to suppress the old-school generals, Jiangdong might have already occupied Jingzhou and had a ticket to enter the finals. !

  Why is it so embarrassing right now?

   Zhou Yu would not say that he would invade the generals of the new faction, and Huang Gai would not say the same, but he would do it.

  Sun Quan is also unwilling to say, or is not willing to say.

  So, Huang Gai is going to polish Zhu Huan...

   Or sharpened even sharper.

or it could be…

   Huang Gai pressed the formation, and Zhu Huan set off with his men.

  The road in the cottage is not easy to walk, and only two or three people can walk side by side. Zhu Huan can only send fifty people as the vanguard, and he will lead the rear team to climb up step by step.

  Wulingman in Qinglangzhai also found Zhu Huan and others, and the low-pitched ox-horn warning sound sounded in the mountains.

   Along the way, Zhu Huan and the others were not attacked. Maybe the people in Qinglang Village didn't react, or maybe they thought they still had a chance to negotiate. Wulingman in the cottage screamed loudly, his figure shook, and then a Chinese voice with some weird emphasis came out: "What do you want to do?" We, Qinglangzhai, have not committed any violations of discipline! 』

  Zhu Huan was silent for a while, and then said to Zhu Chang: "Go up and call out to make him come out of the village and surrender!" 』

For Zhu Huan, he felt that his orders were already helping Wulingman. As long as he was willing to surrender, he could at least save his life. But for Wulingman, who would be so stupid as to give his life to others? to decide?

…

   Qinglangzhai refused to surrender. So the attack started quickly.

  Zhu Huan's soldiers shouted loudly, raised their shields and swords, and crawled towards the gate of the cottage. At the same time, the crossbowmen of Zhu Huan's rear team, under the cover of the forward, approached the wall of the village as much as possible, firing arrows and crossbows to suppress.

  『Swish! 』

  The feathered arrows galloped towards the wall of the village, and the barbarians behind the wall were so crushed that they couldn't lift their heads.

   Some Wulingman hid under the wall of the village, some raised their shields to defend, and many Wulingman running around in the village were shot, howling and rolling on the ground. Someone wanted to pull the shot people, but soon even the rescuers were shot to the ground.

  Blood flowed out, and death fell on this small cottage.

A Wulingman warrior holding a multicolored wooden shield stood behind the gate of the village, holding up the shield while shouting something loudly, and the rest of the Wulingman warriors also responded one after another, seeming to maintain a certain morale, but Not many people noticed that the hand of this middle-aged Wuling barbarian holding the knife was actually trembling slightly...

  Most of Wulingman’s shields are plate shields, wooden, large and thick, with patterns drawn on them with natural stone paints, and most people don’t have them yet. You must be a warrior in the tribe to have such a shield.

  『Boom! Boom! Boom boom boom! 』

  The low sound of war drums echoed in the mountains, forests and valleys, rippling on the treetops, startling the birds to fly.

  『Break open the gate of the village! Seeing that the Wuling barbarians on the wall of the Shanzhai were suppressed, Zhu Huan ordered loudly.

Several Jiangdong soldiers who rushed to the gate of the village carried their shields behind their backs, and at the same time took out their battle axes and smashed them on both sides of the gate of the village, while another group of soldiers carried them and chopped down a bowl halfway The trees with thick mouths, even the branches were not completely removed, and they ran straight into the gate of the village while shouting!

  Zhaimen groaned and trembled.

  The Wuling barbarians above the wall of the village ignored the suppression of the Jiangdong soldiers' arrows, and began to shoot at the Jiangdong soldiers below the wall of the village.

Wulingman's bows and arrows are generally shallow bamboo and wooden bows, and they use very simple bamboo arrows. If it is about armor-piercing ability, it is of course not worth mentioning, but the problem is that Wulingman hunts in the mountains and forests, and often does not rely on The original armor-piercing lethality of bows and arrows is the toxicity of various plants or animals.

These poisonous arrows, which were originally used to deal with animals, are now used to deal with Jiangdong soldiers. Although the arrows are not strong in piercing armor, if they are shot at shields and armor, they may not be able to cause any huge damage to these Jiangdong soldiers. Lethality, but after all, Jiangdong soldiers are not covered with armor all over their bodies, their faces, arms, legs and feet are all without armor. After being shot by these poisonous arrows, although the wounds caused by the arrows themselves are not fatal, the toxins they carry are in these poisonous arrows. When the Jiangdong soldiers were churning with anger and blood, they permeated very quickly. Many of the Jiangdong soldiers who were shot seemed to have only a small wound. After a while, they foamed at the mouth and fell down convulsively.

Poisoned arrows are very lethal, but it’s useless if they can’t hit the unarmored parts, and the number is limited. After the casualties, the counterattack force of Wuling Man Qinglang Village declined.

  The gate of the cottage was cracked, and then it was completely smashed open, and Jiangdong soldiers swarmed in.

  The two sides fought hand-to-hand in the village.

  Wuling barbarian warriors formed a shield formation and blocked the gate of the village.

  The first wave of Jiangdong soldiers who rushed in were quickly cut down, and fell to the ground with some dead or wounded, but soon, the second wave of Jiangdong soldiers rushed in, and then the third wave...

   After Zhu Huan rushed in with his personal guards and dispersed the only array of Wuling barbarian warriors, the resistance of Qinglang Village collapsed quickly.

  Zhu Huan's personal guards have thicker armor and sharper swords, while the warriors in Qinglangzhai only have wooden shields, a few leather armors, limited swords and spears, and the rest are hatchets and pitchforks...

  Zhu Huan held the knife and watched the middle-aged warrior being chopped down by himself with a blank expression.

  The Wuling barbarian who fell on the ground howled, pointed at Zhu Huan with his blood-stained finger, and seemed to say something, but was immediately slashed on the neck by Zhu Chang, and his head rolled off.

  Zhu Chang raised the head of the Wuling barbarian warrior high, "The general has beheaded the head of the enemy chieftain!" 』

  Jiangdong soldiers cheered loudly, while Wuling Man in Qinglang Village wailed loudly. When the warrior holding the shield covered with patterns was knocked down by Zhu Huan, the remaining Wuling barbarians in the village also put down their weapons.

  『What was he shouting just now? "Zhu Huan asked the guard next to him, "Which one of you can understand?" 』

  The guards all shook their heads.

Zhu Huan didn't care, looked around, shook the blood on the blood-stained sword, put it back into the sheath, and said indifferently, "Catch all these barbarians...then take them down the mountain and burn the cottage...follow the governor Order to sacrifice the flag with blood! 』
